school 2 3

PHYWE would like to offer you the best systems

and customised solutions for teaching the natu-

ral sciences. Our school course covers education

at schools from a young age up to the secondary

level II. “do” and “show” are the names of

PHYWE’s products for pupils, such as TESS or the

laboratory experiment system LEx (“do”) and

in particular everything for teachers, such as

our DemoX programme (“show”). The PHYWE

solution systems are extensive and an exciting

means for conveying the natural sciences. Our

innovative measurement data recording system

Cobra4, for example, is unprecedented in its

sheer number of possible applications. It is

an unbeatable team in combination with our

analysis and evaluation software measure. Our

proven, modular TESS experiment system with

more than 800 possible experiments is another

example of a complete system solution that is

“made by PHYWE”. It not only includes the com-

plete experiment literature with instructions

concerning the set-up, procedures, and evaluation

of the experiments for students and teachers, but

also everything that is required for successful

experimentation. InterTESS offers you the oppor-

tunity to accompany the experiments on a PC in

order to increase the didactic value of the TESS

experiments. This integration of teaching and

learning is a standalone feature of PHYWE on

the market. Follow this path together with

PHYWE and open up a nearly unlimited variety

and flexibility when planning and structuring

your classes, combined with the quality and

service of a world market leader.

Education is the foundation for the future.

With the school course, PHYWE has established a

segment that conveys the natural sciences at

school in a particularly easy, clear, and exciting

way. As in all of our other products, the experi-

ment, i.e. the direct experience of science phe-

nomena, is at the focus of interest, which is

true to the motto that you will never forget what

you have actually experienced and tried for

yourself. Both teachers and pupils will benefit

from PHYWE’s school course: Our proven TESS

experiment system with more than 800 possible

experiments is the perfect example of a complete

system solution that is “made by PHYWE”. PHYWE’s

school course was developed in close co-opera-

tion with teachers and lecturers in order to offer

high-quality, robust materials and system solu-

tions for science classes, while taking into account

the teaching curricula. Nearly 100 years of expe-

rience and continuity in the development and

production of natural science teaching materials

in turn ensure the optimum preservation of value

and protection of your investment. In addition,

we can ensure that the school receives the exact

system solution that it needs, thereby eliminating

additional costs. PHYWE’s school course enables

the supply of curriculum-adapted equipment,

experiment descriptions, and perfectly matched

components that were specifically developed for

teaching requirements.

PHYWE school course for high-quality education

“do” and “show”are how the students will never forget what they have learned

PHYWE offers proven teaching systems for stu-

dents and demonstration experiments for science

classes of all types of schools and age groups. The

equipment, storage, and experiment literature

are all ideally adapted to each other and enable

the reliable and convincing conveyance of scien-

tific relations with the additional advantage of

reduced preparation times. Both systems are

proven and have undergone continuous further

development based on decades of experience in

student and demonstration experiments. In ad-

dition, they have been adapted to the teaching

curricula of secondary school levels I and II. The

design of the various equipment parts enables

the optimal combination of teacher and student

experiments.

The training and experiment system for students

(TESS) includes didactic student experiments for

interdisciplinary classes at the beginning of sec-

ondary level I (TESS beginner) and classes of sec-

ondary level I and II (TESS advanced) up to the

advanced courses of secondary level II (TESS expert).

All of the required components for any particular

subject area are stored in a high-quality, well-

structured, and stackable storage box. The didac-

tic experiment literature includes student and

teacher variants. This helps students work out

and deepen the scientific interrelations inde-

pendently, while the teacher can prepare the

experiments and check the results rather quickly.

Apart from the printed literature, the computer-

based literature interTESS offers numerous other

advantages. It supports the safe use of PCs, al-

lows students to work at their own speed, and

facilitates the evaluation.

The teaching system for demonstration experi-

ments includes the respective physics, chemis-

try, and biology collections for various subject

areas that are adapted to the respective teach-

ing curricula, school types, and age groups. The

system is complemented by experiment units

and manuals. Experiment units cover certain

fields of subjects, such as the “Food chemistry

experiment units”. Manuals describe the ex-

perimental capabilities of a certain equipment

system via numerous experiments, such as the

“Ripple unit manual”. The equipment and the

accompanying literature were specifically de-

veloped for the classroom. They are perfectly

adapted to each other so that you can perform

a wide range of experiments with a small

number of equipment parts.

Manuals

Manuals are experiment collections for systems,

such as the ripple unit or the glass jacket sys-

tem, which can be used for a wide range of ex-

periments.

The following list provides an overview of the

subject areas that can be extensively taught

with the demonstration teaching system.

Further information can be found in our Applied

Sciences and Cobra4 brochures as well as in

The student experiments of the TESS system are characterised by the fact that the accompanying

experiment descriptions, equipment, and storage devices are optimally adapted to each other. The

experiment literature covers all of the relevant subjects for your classes. For you, this means reduced

preparation time, safe execution of the experiments, and easy checking of the results.

Our complete solution TESS – Training and experiment system for students

Ideally adapted to TESS – the interactive software interTESS

The software interTESS was developed based on

the extensive literature. interTESS assists teach-

ers and students in the set-up, execution, and

evaluation of TESS experiments. Combine the

advantages of computer-assisted learning with

PHYWE’s excellent didactic TESS system. Enhance

the learning effectiveness of your students!

Today, young people grow up with computers.

With interTESS, the fascination of the PC can be

transferred to the natural sciences.

Time-saving method

The software assists students in the set-up, exe-

cution, and evaluation of the experiments. As a

result, the teacher has more time to attend to

the students on an individual level.

Easy assessment of the results

The software asks the user numerous questions

that can be answered in the form of multiple

choice, drawings, or brief texts – also as home-

work!

Minimum preparation time thanks to the

“teacher function”

The system offers model answers that can be

displayed after the teacher password has been

entered.

Explanations for every individual step ensure

maximum learning results

interTESS guides the user through the experi-

ment, and detailed descriptions facilitate

comprehension. The findings and results can

choose from a large number

of experiments in physics,

chemistry, and biology. In

addition, the category of

everyday phenomena enables

you to reach your students where

their knowledge of scientific rela-

tions can be combined with practical

applications.

We offer a large number of Cobra4 sets that

are ideally adapted to your applications,

from demon stration experiments to student

ex periments (TESS). The hand-held measuring

instrument Mobile-Link can be used for demon-

stration experiments without a PC. With an

interconnected unit for wireless communication

(Display-Connect), the data can be transmitted

to one or several digital large-scale displays.

You can find more about Cobra4 in the Cobra4

brochure or at www. PHYWE.com.

The use of Cobra4 offers new didactic opportu-

nities to fill your students with enthusiasm

for the natural sciences. Computer-assisted ex-

periments can be performed together with the

students regardless of the location of the PC –

either in the classroom or during field trips. In

addition, all of the experiments in the field of

motion can be executed without any problems.

The design of the measurement software based

on measure is so intuitive that even inexperi-

enced users can use it reliably and safely. Apart

from the wireless recording of measurement data

with our Wireless-Link, our Wireless-Manager, or

our Remote-Link, the Cobra4 family also enables

cable-linked measurements with our USB-Link

and mobile measurement with our hand-held

measuring instrument Mobile-Link.

Numerous sensors can be connected to these

basic units. Many of these sensors are multi-

sensors that cover entire subject areas (chemis-

try, thermodynamics, electricity, and weather).

Combined with the power and capabilities of

measure, Cobra 4 is ideally adapted to the

most versatile applications in the natural

sciences and technology at schools. You can

The computer-assisted recording and analysis

of the measurement data is becoming increas-

ingly important for demonstration and student

experiments. Numerous phenomena cannot be

conveyed or presented without computer as-

sistance. In addition, the execution and evalu-

ation of the experiments are considerably

simplified. In addition, complex subject mat-

ters of the highest level at secondary schools,

such as atomic and nuclear physics can be con-

veyed much more efficiently and convincingly

with the aid of computers. A large, ever-in-

creasing number of experiments of PHYWE’s

school programme are computer-assisted. The

central platform for the recording and analysis

of measurement data is the measure software.

There are numerous experiments with devices

and units that can be directly connected to the

computer, such as, for example, the X-ray unit,

the multi-channel analyser, or the pH meter.

Most of the experiments use the modular,

wireless measurement data recording system

Cobra4. The measure software is always used

for capturing the data. Apart from the repre-

sentation and measurement features, measure

also offers an extensive collection of tools for

the analysis of data, the export and import of

the data of other applications, and much

more. In addition, measure offers particularly

easy access to the experiment. The computer-

assisted experiments can be selected from the

list of subjects. If desired, experiment descrip-

tions, measurement settings, and example

measurements can also be loaded.

Another member of the measure family is

measure Dynamics, our automatic video analy-

sis software that enables the easy analysis of

1- and 2-dimensional movements. The easy

creation of trajectories and movement, velocity,

and acceleration diagrams facilitates the com-

prehension of dynamic and kinematic processes.

The special features of measure Dynamics are

the automatic detection and tracking of even

several objects, the stroboscopic effect for

complex motion sequences (flying hammer),

the easy data transfer, and much more.

More information concerning the various

topics can be found in our catalogues or at

www. PHYWE.com.

Wide range of 90 experiments and, thereby,

easy adaptation to the curricula and indi-

vidual preferences

Experiment literature with student worksheets

Experiments also included in the e-learning

system interTESS.

TESS microscopy

Microscopy plays an important role in the ex-

periments conducted in biology classes, since

it covers numerous curriculum subjects, for

example plant physiological subjects such as

photosynthesis.

For microscopy, PHYWE offers a TESS system with

50 experiments that are adapted to the curricula

for secondary levels I and II. The experiments

cover the following biological fields:

Fundamental principles of microscopy

Microscopic working techniques

The experiment literature with its 200 pages

includes student worksheets with many self-

explaining drawings so that the students can

be guided towards reliable findings and results.

Every experiment is complemented with a

teacher sheet with numerous colour photos of

the slide preparations as well as extensive tips

and assistance, e. g. concerning the procurement

of the examination material. With these docu-

ments, even teachers with limited experience in

microscopy can hold microscopy courses.

Student experiments with TESS biologyand TESS microscopy

A wide range of student experiments are performed in biology classes in order to reinforce their

acquired knowledge. PHYWE offers two TESS systems for this purpose.

Experimentation case for ecological field

experiments

Environmental problems are one of the core

subjects in biology and interdisciplinary science

classes. Environmental questions can be treat-

ed the best in the field.

Experimentation case “environment and

field experiments”

This case contains a class set for four work-

groups that can perform their measurements

independently from each other. The students

measure with the robust and reliable Mobile-

Link hand-held measuring instruments of the

Cobra4 product range. Depending on the pa-

rameters to be measured, the various sensor

units that are also included in the experimen-

tation case are connected to the Mobile-Link

units. The following parameters can be meas-

ured: air pressure, air humidity, air tempera-

ture, light intensity, altitude, pH, conductivity,

and temperature.

Part of this Cobra4 experimentation case is a

manual with numerous example experiments

concerning the fields of air and weather, wa-

ter, and soil.

In addition, you can perform numerous addi-

tional experiments with your students.

The Cobra4 experimentation case is also avail-

able as a single set with one instead of four

Mobile-Link units for measuring all of the eight

parameters. You can use it in combination with

the Cobra4 Display-Connect unit and the digital

large-scale display as a demonstration system

and transmit the measured values from the

hand-held instrument to the large-scale dis-

play by radio. As a result, you can perform

measurements anywhere in the classroom and

your students will immediately see the results -

also without a computer.

Class sets for other ecological field experiments

In order to deepen your students’ knowledge,

you can also order the following subject-spe-

cific cases for field experiments during excur-

sion or project days:

Soil analysis

Determination of the biological water quality

Determination of the chemo-physical water

quality

Apart from the class set material, every subject-

specific case also includes a comprehensive

manual with detailed experiment descriptions.

Demonstration experiments

Chemistry student experiments teaching system – for optimum lessons

Chemistry demonstration experiments teaching system– “show”

In chemistry classes, experiments are an important part of the learning process, either as

teacher demonstrations or as experiments that are performed by the students themselves.

Student experiments should be integrated as often as possible into chemistry lessons. Our TESS

chemistry student experiments system helps you to do this easily and with minimum prepara-

tion time.

Polymer chemistry

36 experiments can be performed in the field

of polymer chemistry with the aid of TESS box 2

Cobra4 basic set chemistry

The Cobra4 wireless basic set chemistry pro-

vides the ideal lead-in into wireless, computer-

assisted measuring:

Optimally suitable for demonstration experi-

ments in chemistry

Measurement of important parameters, such

as pH, conductivity, and temperature

The PC can be set up far away from the ex-

periment so that it is protected against ag-

gressive solutions

The set can also be used outdoors for field

experiments (e. g. for ecological measure-

ments) in combination with a laptop

Multisensors (e. g. pH and 2 x temperature)

enable the simultaneous, yet easy, measure-

ment of several quantities

The set comes supplied in a robust case with

a foam inlay.

Complete experiments – chemistry/

biotechnology

The system “Complete experiments – chemistry/

biotechnology” enables the easy set-up and

execution of experiments with minimum prep-

aration time and maximum comfort:

The components that are made of glass stand

out clearly against the dark blue background

of the carrier plate. The students can clearly

see and understand the experiment set-up.

The fastening elements for the glass compo-

nents are nearly invisible. As a result, the ex-

periment, and not the support material, is in

the focus of interest.

Thanks to various fastening elements and

the flexible positioning in the holes, a large

variety of experiment set-ups is possible.

The experiment set-ups can remain on the

plate and be taken off the carrier frame.

Then, they can be stored in a drawer system

under the table or in a cabinet. As a result,

you can quickly switch between experiments

during the lesson.

No time-consuming assembly and disassem-

bly are needed. The complete experiment is

available in next to no time.

Clamp holders enable the quick removal of

the glass components for cleaning.

Phenomena of our everyday lives with Cobra4

Natural phenomena with TESS beginner

PHYWE has developed student sets that are spe-

cifically adapted to the requirements of interdis-

ciplinary classes as of the age of approximately

10 years. The following subject areas are covered:

Heat

Water

Senses

Motion

Light, air, and earth

Current and magnets

TESS beginner sets have the DIN A5 format and

include all of the required equipment. Based

on approximately 15 experiment descriptions,

the students learn how to work with real ex-

periment materials, such as support materials,

laboratory glassware, dynamometers, etc. In

addition, we also offer corresponding sets for

demonstration experiments.

TESS renewable energy

Our TESS renewable energy system consists of

two matching experiment sets concerning the

field of energy and the use of regenerative

sources of energy. 45 experiments in the following

fields can be performed:

Conversion of energy

Storage of energy

Solar radiation (solar thermal energy,

photovoltaics)

Water power

Wind power

Geothermal energy/ambient heat

Hydrogen technology/fuel cells

interTESS reduces preparation time to a minimum

and considerably facilitates the execution of

student experiments. In addition, the teacher can

assess the results rather quickly.

Cobra4 – phenomena of our everyday lives

The Cobra4 measuring technology enables meas-

urements without disturbing cables and is perfect-

ly suitable for the execution of experiments on the

phenomena of our everyday lives in the house-

hold, outdoors, concerning hobbies, technology,

and traffic. All of this takes up the topics of the

everyday experiences of the students and makes

the teaching of science classes much easier.

Applied Sciences– always well prepared in our new science discipline

At school, the trend is moving from the classic subjects of physics, chemistry, and biology towards the

interdisciplinary subject of natural sciences that covers the scientific phenomena of our everyday lives.

PHYWE already offers more than 100 experiments and solution systems for applied sciences for young

students up to laboratory project courses or advanced courses for graduation. The following subject

areas are included in our range of products and experiments:

Age-appropriate experiments and descriptions – that is how experi-ments are fun!
